HonestlyI can't see them being able to recapture the magic or the family and camaraderie that shepard had with his or her crew and the Normandy I can't see this being able to work well with random people we never heard of?
What is everyone else thoughts do you think this new sequel or prequel or midquel will be able to astound us or being as amazing as shepard was with the Normandy?
Will the new mass effect be as rememorable as this saga?

I can't say until I've actually played it, however, I think trying to recreate masseffect1-3's party dynamic would be hard... but they might create a better one. IMHO, they can't afford to blow DA:I or me-whatever (as it's not going to be called mass effect 4) so I think I'm a tad optimistic at the moment.

I'm still curious what direction they are gonna go cause either way a sequel or a prequel would still be a bit of challenge the way the narrative went

No amount of Patrick Stewart can compensate I'm afraid.

Depends on what you mean by "wipe its ass with its fandom".
Several of the original-cast Trek movies before TNG, as well as one during TNG's rise in popularity, are pretty terrible

Better question is, do they want the new Mass Effect to be as memorable as this one.
Cause I can totally see that as a mixed blessing

I remember hearing that "These are the Voyages," the last televised episode of Star Trek, was truly horrendous. Guess I was lucky to have avoided the entirety of Enterprise.
EDIT: Fixed quotes.

memorable doesn't always mean infamous. I can hope.

No, the dynamic that comes from characters crossing across 3 games will be impossible to recreate if it is a standalone tale. Also i fear that ME will degenerate away from the player characterised protaganist which is for me at least what made Shep feel so special.

Hell, it wasn't just the movies. A lot of TOS Season 3 sucked. Unless you figure they were deliberately going for camp.

Not sure if it will be as popular, but I do expect it to be an improvement over the trilogy.
They created a nice world and experience despite the story, which didn't cater to the things that people enjoyed.
I suspect they realize this and want a mulligan.

Not sure about popular, yeah, but memorable? Quite possibly. We'll need to see.

you know.... honestly we can talk and talk about how it can suck or how it will be bad, but until they produce something you really can't judge it.
And from what I have read is that its pretty much going to be a reboot. Cause I don't think the poll numbers where there for a prequel and honestly we already know what happened, sure "the journey" but honestly don't really need it.
And its not like Star Wars where they have 1000's of years to go back and do what they want. In ME not even 50 years had past from mass effect flight to the events of the Reapers to even go back with. So unless we are playing a different race a prequel really isn't viable.
And a sequal without a "cannon" is honestly hard to even consider, I mean 2 of the 3 endings reapers are still around. Destory is really the only one in which conflicts can matter. Cause with Control and and Syth, With control Shepard controls the reapers, any race gets out of line, BAM full reaper forces are there to say, "Don't shoot please?" Or else get vaporized.
Sure they coudl always pull the hidden god card but meh. With Synth well honestly everyone is now half robot half orangic so really what do they have to fight over, They will be able to share thoughts as fast as the geth so agian meh no real conflict.
So really only a reboot is an option other than making Destory cannon. Which I think will end up pissing more people off than the ME3 ending did in the first place.

I would say we really don't know what goes on after the green ending. we don't know if there is some kind of collective thought going on, we don't know if the entire galaxy is at peace. just because everyone has cybernetic implants doesn't mean everyone becomes best the best of friends.

I would say no, but not through any fault of the game itself. People tend toe remember earlier installments with more fondness. I still consider FFIV and FFVI to be the best Final Fantasy games (the first I played way back when). Are they the best? Probably not, but those left an impression on me being the first RPG's I played.
No matter what direction BioWare takes, it will be hard to overshadow this trilogy. Of course, the game could be absolutely awesome and we all forget about this trilogy. I'm sure in some space of the multiverse it will.

I have to actually play it to post my opinion on this thread. Especially a question like this one. There hast been enough information released to even have an opionion about the next Mass Effect. Even if there was a lot of information out, you'd have to play it to answer a question like this

Possibly, since the saga isn't even finished as far as I'm concerned. And to try to move away from it stinks. There are still loose ends and stories I think need to be told. Moving on from an unfinished story wouldn't too be too hard to accomplish.

Blasphemy, Patrick stewart can cure cancer, stop world wars, and provided moisture to beached whales.
If me3 ending had patrick stewart I would forgive everything, the dodgy dlc, jessica chobot, the utter disregard and disgraceful attitude towards the fanbase, and me3 general ****tyness.
Anything else is wrong, this is one of the few things I am certain of.
